Stock Lighting In 24g Nano

[mellanby]

I cut this from the JBJ website regarding the types of lights I have in my cube:

JBJ Compact Fluorescent Bulb Lighting
2 36 Watt JBJ lamps gives your tank inhabitants 72 watts of high intensity fluorescent illumination. Installed with the very best Fulham remote electronic ballast for reliale performance and safety. All ballasts are remote with a disconnect cable and prewired to UL Approved German Socketlamp sockets for easy bulb install and removals. Installed with splash guard lens for lamp protection .

When my tank is ready, I'd like to incorporate hammer or torch corals into it. With this lighting, will they survive? I've got a mushroom that has appeared out of nowhere on one of the rocks I bought, and he closes up when the light is off, then spreads out when the light is on.

If it is recommended that I switch out the lighting, is it an easy proceedure to do? I'm assuming you'd have to take off the cover to change bulbs, right?

Thanks

All types of soft coral should do fine under this level of light (except things like sulphur toadstools etc.

Also many of the LPS should grow under that light.

Scroll down and see my 24G thread and read what you can keep in it. It's fine except for SPS and clams. SH
